If this change does require bumping the shared library version number,
and if there wasn't a pressing motivation for it, perhaps it could be
backed out until someone else causes the version number to change?
(I'm reluctant to suggest that, since I've screwed myself many times
by sitting on changes until I've forgotten about them, but it is kind
of inconvenient to have the library version change more often than it
has to...)
